Research and Markets: South African Commercial and Industrial HVAC Markets: A Voice of Customer Analysis
Business Wire, May 11, 2010
DUBLIN — Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7cff59/south_african_comm)
has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan’s new report “South
African Commercial and Industrial HVAC Markets: A Voice of Customer
Analysis” to their offering.
Environmental Concerns and Finite Energy Resources Boost Demand for
Energy-efficient HVAC Equipment
Environmental concerns and intensifying pressure on energy resources in
South Africa have increased end-user demand for energy-efficient
heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. A
significant number of end users have latched onto the green building
wave and are increasingly favouring equipment that will consume less
energy. End users consider HVAC to be one of the largest sources of
power consumption and this has, to some extent, limited the market,
notes the analyst of this research. However, this is now changing due to
improvements in the technology and methodologies used by suppliers.
Recently in the mining industry, there have been two significant
developments with regard to the optimisation of HVAC equipment. These
include the modification of underground refrigeration systems to alter
energy consumption demand and changes to the diameter of the ducting
systems used to ventilate the shafts.
Focus to be on System Integration
The South African commercial and industrial HVAC markets are
characterised by low product differentiation and intense competition
among the existing companies. The degree of competition is high due to
the fragmented nature of the market. There are several companies
operating in the market and there are multiple brands that each company
stocks. End users recommend that suppliers offer systems at competitive
prices to increase market share, says the analyst. HVAC companies should
also try and offer total building technology solutions in order to
sustain their competitive positions in the market.
The growing demand for integrated systems by most end users is beginning
to result in HVAC systems being sold as part of integrated systems. End
users are increasingly looking for a combination of systems, remarks the
analyst. These could be a combination of security, lighting and HVAC
systems or the inclusion of filtration, extraction, humidification and
general air quality control into one HVAC system.
